The Death Knell

"There seems to be something wrong, Deathstroke. Look, it's not the Saturn Hunter you're retiring today, but this guy called the Lamplighter."

The two people who sneaked into the utility room behind the large canteen of Walter Company saw the banner hanging in the auditorium through the crack in the door. Bobo was wavering on who to kill first.

"If you are a serial killer, you will definitely have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and you will be caught sooner or later. Does it matter who you kill first? The superheroes of Walt Company are just more than 200 fish. Try to kill them all within three hours. Guang, I promised Harley to go back when she wakes up."

Su Ming shook his head speechlessly, not surprised by the other party's temporary change in the retiree's behavior.

Saturn Hunter is an evergreen tree in the world of superheroes. He is actually an Earthling, but was transformed into a human and a ghost by Compound No. 5. Vought made him an alien character. .

He is very senior in the group of seven. His persona is "My Love from the Star", and he is mainly gentle and intellectual. The official corrupt CP is from the motherland, because the latter's persona is a baby in an alien spaceship that fell from the sky, so these two Constitutes the image of the 'good alien'.

But in fact, Saturn Hunter's interpersonal relationships are not managed very well, perhaps because he is not perverted enough, which leads to him being incompatible with his colleagues in private.

In fact, it's not that he isn't perverted enough, but that his perversion is very hidden, and others don't notice it and don't care.

He is an extremely mentally twisted 'abnormal' person who attacks and abducts elderly human males to 'enjoy' in hidden places, and then tortures them to death.

Because the targets of attacks are often old men in their 80s and 90s, and the bodies are disposed of well in the end, the victims are often identified by the police as lost and lost due to Alzheimer's disease.

However, like most obscene perverts, Saturn Hunter is silent, withdrawn, and unsocial, which also leads to his lack of popularity. He can stay in the Seven only because of his qualifications.

But today Deathstroke snatched away the starlight who was supposed to take his place. As a publicity response from Vought, it would not be appropriate to retire a Saturn Hunter who was not popular in the first place. He had to replace him with a topical figure.

Temporary substitution is not good, but wouldn’t it be more topical and popular?

Therefore, it is natural for the Lamplighter to retire. After all, he is older and has average strength, but because he is handsome, he is much more popular than the Saturn Hunter. His sudden retirement will cause a news earthquake.

The Lamplighter’s superpower is actually flying, but this ability is too ordinary. If he had been called ‘Flying Man’, he might not have become popular.

So back then, Walter Company found a different approach and gave him a magic torch called the 'Olympus Flame', which was actually a high-tech flamethrower for him to hold, and named him Lamplighter.

This is a very simple pyromaniac. His hobby is to see people on fire running and screaming in front of him. If there is nothing wrong, he will burn a few people for fun, just like a child burning ants with a lighter.

But all the things he did were naturally settled with money from Walter Company, and although he is older now, he has slightly curly blond hair and a sculptural face, and he really looks a bit like Apollo, the god of the sun, so there are many Fans are all fans.

As for the power of this flame?

Don't ask whether there is one or not, just ask whether the fire is bright and whether it can light up the lamp handsomely and that's it.

Anyway, it makes no difference to Deathstroke. He doesn't have serial killer syndrome. He must kill in any ideal order. The target must die. It's just who comes first and who comes last.

"Then let's kill the Saturn Hunter first?" Bobo scratched the top of his head. It was obvious that he felt uncomfortable wearing a hat and a hood: "I have a lighter here for you to use?"

"We use the lamplighter's torch to kill the Saturn hunter, make a big news, and then kill the latter and pretend to commit suicide." Su Ming had a plan early. He took off his magic floating cloak and pointed to the door, letting it go Steal something.

The cloak raised one collar corner, moved up and down a few times, and then quickly disappeared from the entrance of the ventilation duct.

Saturn Hunter's mood has been going up and down like a roller coaster today.

The company had already planned his retirement and held a grand press conference, mainly to pave the way for a new girl.

The hunter himself didn't want to participate, but he had no choice. The contract was in the hands of the company. If he wanted to live a good life, it was best not to go against the leaders, because that idiot from the motherland obeyed the words of a certain female leader.

Even if the pension he can get after retirement is pitifully small, if he still wants to live, it is best to cooperate with the company's arrangements. Originally, he planned to go to the reception today to laugh with him, talk a little bit, recall the past, and then look forward to the future. about the future of the company.

But everything was ready, but the plan suddenly changed. His retirement plan was postponed, and the electric light man was asked to graduate instead.

Saturn Hunter asked someone to find out, oh, it turned out that the girl who was scheduled to take his place was poached by another company. Now the people above have no choice but to find someone else to graduate, gain popularity again, and then promote the original company's second-tier The superhero 'The Invisible Man' upgrades and joins the Fantastic Seven.

Thinking of the pervert Invisible Man, the hunter was also a little speechless, because that guy's biggest hobby was well known within the company, which was to hide in the toilet and peek, regardless of men or women.

But who cares? If I could retire a month later, it would mean receiving an extra month of salary at the level of the Seven. Isn't this better than those with a false reputation?

Therefore, sometimes if the popularity is not good, you will get benefits, at least much better than the lamplighter who is neither good nor low.

The reception was about to begin. Saturn Hunter was walking in the corridor of the auditorium of his company, looking at the other busy staff, and he took the initiative to greet them with a ferocious smile.

He was in a good mood, but his yellow and skinny face could not be said to be popular.

He didn't care. Instead, he hummed a tune and touched the small square plastic bag in his pocket, preparing to go out to find some elderly people for fun after the reception.

Just like that, he nodded and smiled happily to everyone, and wandered into the magnificent bathroom.

Walter Company is rich, especially in the external area used to entertain guests. The decoration is much more luxurious than many rich people's homes. Even if the crystal chandelier is installed in the bathroom, it doesn't look out of place. You know how much there is in it. So spacious and impressive.

He walked to the urinal and filled the water. He stared at his little brother admiringly for a while, and then he was ready to go to the press conference to look at the lamplighter's mother-like face.

It is worthwhile to be happy when you make money, but a bad hunter is even happier when he thinks that others have no money to make.

"Who said that the lamplighter looks down on people just because he has a good skin? He is a bitch. Hey, he was persuaded to quit by the company and feels comfortable."

After muttering to himself, he walked to the sink dozens of meters away to wash his hands. Suddenly, laughter came from a door in the cubicle area behind him.

"hehe."

It sounded full of ridicule, and the Saturn Hunter immediately put away the smile on his face.

Could it be that his own soliloquy was heard? This is not okay. It would be bad if a reporter spread this topic.

Although murder is generally not allowed in the company, it is not completely impossible as long as it is done covertly.

He wiped the water on his hands and tiptoed toward the row of cubicles. The smooth mirror-like marble floor reflected his ugly face full of murderous intent.
